O6-2 Physical activity policy actions in Europe: the MOVING benchmarking tools

Abstract Background Global research shows a strong link between physical activity and risk of developing non-communicable diseases. To increase physical activity levels, governments must design and implement a comprehensive set of policy actions across a range of areas. To aid governments in this process, the MOVING benchmarking tool was developed to assess the strength of policies across three domains that make up a comprehensive approach to physical activity policy. Methods The MOVING benchmarking tool, which was developed using a consultative process that reviewed evidence on physical activity policy design and existing benchmarking tools, built on the policy areas of the MOVING framework. It values the strength of policy design, based on evidence-informed and aspirational attributes of effective policy-making that impacts health-related behaviours, with a focus on adolescents. The tool was applied to a set of physical activity policies from five countries: Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal and UK. These countries were selected based on their participation in the EU-funded CO-CREATE project, which focuses on prevention of overweight and obesity among adolescents. Relevant physical activity policies in each participating country were identified based on a comprehensive scan, with a set methodology. Results The MOVING benchmarks assessed the strengths and weaknesses in the design of policies across the policy areas of the MOVING policy framework. They produced an overall assessment of policy environments for physical activity across the five countries, as well as an assessment of each individual policy area within the framework, such as walking and cycling infrastructure and active transport. Further, by allowing a fast assessment of many physical activity policies, the benchmarking tool enabled an analysis of the interplay of single policies and drawing conclusions about the overall policy environment in the five countries. Conclusion The MOVING benchmarking tools can identify gaps and assess the strength of actions taken by national governments to promote physical activity, and can be used by policymakers, researchers and civil society to inform advocacy for and design of policies. The scores generated by the benchmarking tool will be amalgamated into an overall policy index for 27 European countries.


Background
The drive for muscularity behaviors are very common in male athletes, especially in male bodybuilders. Studies have shown that drive for muscularity is a risk factor for eating disorders and muscle dysmorphia. Although several psychological variables have been related to drive for muscularity (e.g. body dissatisfaction), little is known about the motivational mechanisms underlying drive for muscularity.This study applied the trans-contextual model of motivation to the drive for muscularity behaviors of male bodybuilders at risk of developing muscle dysmorphia. The relationships between self-determination theory constructs and drive for muscularity behaviors, via the theory of planned behavior variables were ex Methods A total of 175 Swiss male bodybuilders (Mage = 7.53) completed measures on motivation for planned behavior variables, and drive for viors. They practiced bodybuilding from three week and had done so for 7.19 years on average. A series of path analyses was performed to determine the final model.

Results
The fit indices of the final model were satisfactory: X 2 (11) = 13.81; p = .244; TLI = .98; CFI = .99; RMSEA = .04. The model explained 29% of the variance of drive for muscularity behaviors. The final path analysis supported the motivational sequence, with autonomous motivation for sport showing a positive, significant and indirect association with the drive for muscularity behaviors via perceived behavioral control and intention to gain muscle mass, and controlled motivation for sport showing a positive association with the drive for muscularity behaviors both directly and via attitude and intention to gain muscle mass.

Conclusions
It was concluded that the trans-contextual model of motivation applies only partially to the drive for muscularity behaviors in male bodybuilders. Preventive actions may be important for male bodybuilders, who focus on gaining muscle mass. Specifically, such actions should be directed toward helping them to avoid developing controlled motivation because, although motivation for sport of any kind can be a direct or

The association between green physical activity has been a subject of of them focusing on factors affecting the use of HEPA. However, there are inconsistencies about associations between spatial characteristics of a public open space (e.g. size, distance, safety, quality) and HEPA. This presents a struggle for urban designers and policy makers to develop and implement evidence-based guidelines for designing green open spaces to promote HEPA. Slovenian planning and management plans are no exception to this. In order to effectively overcome this shortfall, we developed an approach and methodology combining current knowledge, planning evaluation and an empirical study. Accordingly, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of current national legislation and documents related to public health, physical activity promotion and spatial planning. We also carried out workshops, focus groups, and discussions with relevant public health experts, decision makers and planners. To assess the practical relevance of the factors identified by experts and research literature, we tested the proposed approach and guidelines on a pilot study in the municipality of Kocevje, which is the largest Slovenian municipality, characterized by one town (Kocevje) and a number of small villages. Pilot study encompassed analysis of the municipality documents and spatial plans, spatial analyses, a survey among 176 residents of the municipality, and interviews with relevant representatives of local authority.

Background
According to the socio-ecological model, policy is one of the levers to initiate structural and environmental changes to foster health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) promotion (Golden et al., 2015). However, little is known about local evidence to support governments in their policies to promote HEPA (Bull, 2018). Research on HEPA policies at local level seems particularly remains scant (Noël Racine et al., 2020). This study aims to carry out the collection of comprehensive information on municipal HEPA policies of the French Riviera to provide an overview of the development of these policies on this territory. Methods Mid-size cities from 2 counties of the French South Region were targeted (n = 17). In each city, a local HEPA policy analysis tool, CAPLA-Santé, was administered to key informants heading the departments of sport, health and social. CAPLA-Santé is a local policy analysis tool adapted from the national HEPA policy analysis tool (HEPA PAT version 2) developed by the World Health Organization. Data were collected through semistructured interviews and documents analysis. These empirical data were used to make an inductive analysis.

Results
A total of 10 mid-size cities were volunteered to participate. Key informants from sport (n = 10), health (n = 5) and social (n = 6) departments were interviewed. Several written HEPA policies were formalized in 6 cities, 4 of them based their policies on scientific evidences or a national policy. These policies (n = 14), were mainly from the sport (n = 8) and the health sectors (n = 4). Some cities had a department head to ensure cross-sectoral collaboration (n = 3). Key informants reported that the support of national policies, the commitment of elected officials and an important local stakeholders' network could facilitate the HEPA promotion; whereas lack of intersectoral collaboration and resources could be a limitation.
